Vegans, Vegetarians in the St. Louis area?

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
I am progressing to a Vegan diet. Any tips on areas in the St. Louis area for eating out? As far as shopping I know Whole Foods and Tj's. Where else? Isn't there another natural store?

you might want to check out vegweb.com-veggie and the post punk kitchen forums-vegan, (http://forum.theppk.com/) they have lots of good info.  They have a midwest subforum that you might be able to get good recommendations from.  Also check out the happy cow website.

You might want to look here for lists of farmer's markets, grocery stores and restaurants:

Their restaurant list is really great. I highly recommend Pho Grand, Sen Thai, Olympia Cafe, and Black Bear Bakery.

govindas, pho grand, lemongrass, OR smoothie, Mokabes...

 

Lemongrass has the best sesame tofu, but I'm not sure if it's vegan.  I love OR smoothie's "meatball" sandwhich.  It's more of an asian meatball sandwhich, not the kind with red sauce.  It's hard to describe. 

 

there's also the Vegetarian Society. they have a monthly potluck.   I think there are also some vegan St. Louis groups on meetup.

As far as stores, Jays international and Global foods are fun to go to, but aren't vegetarian.  There's the Natural Way in Webster Groves.  The smaller stores are usually more expensive, but carry items that I can't get elsewhere.

Have you tried Gokul, on the Loop? I haven't been there but I've heard good things. They do a vegan buffet twice a month, too.

No, we haven't been to Gokul. We will have to try that. Global Foods I love! I didn't know about Jay's. We will have to check that out. I know where Natural Way is. I just need to get over there.
